Its a nice bar and I like the fact it suits the lines of the 150 but is tucked into the car nicely, the ARB bars seem to stick out a long way. I got a price today from TJM of $2375 painted and installed..using existing fog lights and it has provisions for the parking sensors.Originally posted by fourbyfour View Postmy prado not here yet but when it does get here will be puting the same bar and colour is the same as yours Kakadaz2010 Kakadu with all the usual stuff....

i had same feeling with my 120 grande when my bar was fitted. i played around with suspension settings but was never really happy, then thought i should play with the tyre pressures and that has made it feel like it used to. it was only a small 1-2 psi adjustment up in pressures that did it for me. maybe worth trying?Originally posted by Tezza222z View PostVery happy with the bar but you can feel the difference in the steering... a little heavier but I am getting used to it now.

Does anyone know what sort of drop the front of the car will have if I fit say a T13 full steel bar? I cant find anyone in Perth willing to lift a Kakadu so any drop is clearance lost.2010 Kakadu with all the usual stuff.... Build up thread below

I've just put one on a GXL and the drop was minimal, hardly noticeable. Nothing that a lift won't fix overall. I didn't take measurements as the lift is something I will do very soon after spending the day with Hutch, Richo, Fozzy and Kondo. I needed some extra clearance today.[SIZE=2]Black 2009 150 Series D4D GXL Prado, [B]TG150[/B] Transfer Case & Actuator Guard, TJM T13 bar, TJM 9.5lb Winch, Airtec Snorkel, TJM steel sidesteps and sidebars, TJM Underbody Protection, TJM XGS Gold Suspension, Tinted, ARB Fridge Freezer, Couplertec System, Foxwing Awning, 80AH Dual battery, 8" indash GPS, Wet Seat seatcovers, GME TX3540, TX3110 & TX680, [B][COLOR=#ff6633]Maxtrax[/COLOR][/B], Kaymar Dual Wheel Carrier, Breathers, Federal MT's.[/SIZE]

Kakadaz, you should ask Pete (Kondo) for his front measurements as he is in a Kakadu with a TJM T13 Steel hanging off of the front...-----------------------

Easy done mate, just make sure you get him to do the centre of the wheel to the base of the guard. Pick a clip etc underneath that you can both use as a reference point. I know Pete has new rims on his so if you go centre wheel the measurement will be spot on.Originally posted by KAKADAZ View PostI will do thanks Daniel.-----------------------

fourbyfour, I was quoted $2250 for my (yet to be obtained!!!) GXL, so might be worth pressuring for a better price. I am in Melb so freight might be an issue. The 4X4 show is coming up in Melb soon so will wait and see if I can do better.Originally posted by fourbyfour View PostI was quoted $2410 painted and installed and mine is GXL so no front sensors.
